    Race pfd

    I love it. I had to do my modification to it though. I got the XXL and I was still a little too big for it. So I had to cut the sides and use some shock cord to expand it a little. Now it really fits great. I like the poacket and how it sits up higher on my body. It's super light and really comfortable.

    Good Racing PFD

    Nice slim looking fit and freedom of movement. Wish there was a version that could be used in warmer weather however as most of these PFDs get really hot.

    Comfortable and Works Perfectly

    I am 5'4" female, 220 lbs. I ordered the XL. This life jacket works perfectly for me. I used it on vacation in the Carribean. I was able to swim, snorkel, and float with it. I was looking for a life jacket that was low profile and dark colored unlike most life jackets that are bright and bulky. This was perfect and very comfortable. I felt safe and had fun.

    Amazing PFD from a Cold Canadian

    Ordered this to use during my cold season of flat water canoe kayak training. I wanted to PFD that I could trust to keep me afloat but wouldn’t restrict my stroke/technique in the boat. Tested it in an indoor pool and it perfectly keeps me floating with my head above water even in a “dead” position. Been using it in the boat and can barely tell I have it on.
